THE PUBLISHING PROBLEM• Traditional publishing is broken and

dying

• Subsidy presses are inexpensive but

usually produce low-quality books

• Fast, cheap, and good; pick any two

of the three

• Self-published books still carry a stigma

MOTION PUBLISHING: BENEFITS

THE TARGET AUDIENCE• First-time authors

• Traditional publishers typically reject

more than 90 percent of manuscripts.

• They have not shown a proven ability to

sell books

• Established authors and speakers

• Readers don’t care about publishers; a

book is not a car

LOGISTICS• Through its partners, Motion can handle

all forms of printing and distribution

• Kindle, Nook, iBooks, etc.

• Authors pay to play and then keep both

the intellectual property and the lion’s

share of the profits

• Those with the desire to seek deals

with proper publishers can then do so

THE MOTION PROCESS

• Authors work

with a team of

experienced

professionals

• Authors select

services à la

carte
